Abstract

How can God exist given the existence of evil in the world?

Rev. David Coffey discusses the question how can God exist given the existence of evil in the world? He explains the main reason for not believing in God is the existence of evil. He states that the evil that comes from human malice is the hardest evil to explain and adds that Christianity shows God is stronger than all the evil by using events where God’s enemies were trying to destroy him, yet God used the event to bring salvation to the world.
